I am obsessed with jewelry right now. Everywhere I look I see beauty in metal and stone. My watch is not here yet (Monday, they swear) so in the meantime I have bought earrings which will match its sleekness. German made, white gold with a frosted finish and bezel-mounted diamonds set flush: fat little hoops barely clearing the bottom of my lobes. Tres sportif, tres chic. I have a new look. Platinum art deco diamond bracelet. Stainless steel and diamond watch. White gold and diamond earrings. All that is left is to have my jeweler take the small diamond I inherited from John's father's estate and have him cast a ring to match my earrings, which is easily done.
I will be a winter goddess, snow sparkling under wind-torn skies, silvery moonlight on bare branches, large grey eyes and soft white skin, at home among the glittering ice and storm clouds.
